Looking forward to a good debate
I am as well looking for a good debate, that will be fought for the sake of a good question.
Daffy forfeited this round.
In my opinion, private investment should be preferred to public sector spending when it comes to human space exploration and astronomy in general.
First of all, though, we need to establish that space exploration and astronomy is nothing but another branch of science and empiric data has shown that science in general is better off without government regulation, leadership, or involvement. Private laboratories are the ones that make the most efficient medications, private research institutes (such as universities) often make the best and most advanced discoveries, while governments distort, change, and manipulate science. In a wider sense, we just need to analyze the difference between the United States, where free market principles were applied to some sectors of science and incredible developments were achieved, and the Soviet Union, where the leadership's pseudo-science was applied in agriculture and caused the death of millions.
That said, space exploration would be better off without any type of government red tape or direction. The very obvious argument would be that in times of financial and economic crises such as the ones we live in, more government waste and pursuit of debt and deficit spending is unnecessary and does nothing but hurt the national economy overall. Even if NASA and such astronomical research departments are very low on public budget priorities, they still represent billions of dollars that could be saved, thus billions of dollars that would not be taxed from the workers and entrepreneurs.
Still financial-wise, a private human space exploration mission is definitely more cost-efficient than the long bureaucratic process. In our capital-based economy, it is important to target every dollar to its intended use and not to lose any dime in wasteful processes. Indeed, the capitalist economy works as a practical Chaos Theory example: any waste or wrong allocation of resources may bring about a larger cycle of unintended consequences.
Also, a private sector-issued astronomy company would be much safer than a government program. Competing companies would fight to attract more consumers by adding safety to its attractive advantages. Nowadays, a human-inhabited mission explodes in the sky or in space, virtually no consequence may happen because the government has not to fear any competition or liability suits. But if a private spacecraft is destroyed, the company might go bankrupt, just like PanAm after the Lockerbie bombing.
Finally, private space exploration would bring results much faster and development will be achieved at a speedier pace. An international competition of private astronomical companies, boosted by private investors interested in the future of science, will manage to accomplish things that the government cannot even dream of. Mars colonies by 2050? Man on Venus by 2200? Everything would be imaginable.
But now I ask, why do you think it is my duty (as a taxpayer) to fund a space program? Why do I HAVE TO do so? Where do you find the deontological answer to John Smith, the coal-miner living off $8.15 an hour and struggling to put food on the table, who wonders why he has to pay taxes to fund an unsafe space program with doubtful goals?
Daffy forfeited this round.
Thank You.
Daffy forfeited this round.

Kimani Smith threw for six touchdowns as Scotlandville romped past visiting Walker High 48-6 Friday night in a District 4-5A game.
Smith went 12-for-18 for 205 yards. Half of his completions were good for touchdowns. He connected with Larry Clark for three of the scores. And all told, four receivers caught touchdowns.
What's more, Dontraill Hilliard added 19 carries for 109 yards as the Hornets (8-2, 3-2 in 4-5A) put on a solid offensive display: with 215 rushing yards, Smith's 205 passing yards and 25 total first downs.
Walker (3-7, 1-4) tallied 164 yards and just seven first downs.
Scotlandville's defense forced five turnovers - three interceptions and two fumble recoveries - while the Hornets never lost the ball during the game.
Walker's Carlton Perkins - who entered the game as the state's rushing leader with 1,752 yards and 24 touchdowns - was held to 42 yards on 11 carries.
Scotlandville never trailed as Smith fired three touchdown passes in the first quarter alone.
Smith found Cevon Cage for an 18-yard touchdown pass, and Kajandre Domino ran in the two-point conversion to give the Hornets an 8-0 lead with 8:50 remaining in the first quarter.
Walker closed to 8-6 on a trick play when Samuel Montgomery fired a 25-yard pass to Tyler Lockart, but the extra point failed with 6:04 left in the first quarter. Lockhart finished with four catches for 75 yards.
Smith then found Domino for a 12-yard touchdown with 2:36 remaining in the first quarter and connected with Larry Clark on a 27-yard touchdown pass for a 21-6 lead with 17 seconds left in the opening quarter.
Smith and Clark teamed on a 37-yard scoring strike midway through the second quarter to give the Hornets a 28-6 lead that stood going into halftime.
In the third quarter, Smith found Clark again - this time from 10 yards out - for a 34-6 lead. And then Smith threw a 19-yard touchdown pass
to Darien Williams for a 41-6 lead.
Williams added a 15-yard touchdown run with 6:29 remaining in the game to account for the game's final points.

By Ta-Nehisi Coates, Butch Guice, Scott Hanna & Dan Brown
Marvel has a long history of using superheroes as a means for discussing political topics. Steve Gerber repeatedly used four-color tropes to tackle issues as divisive as the culture wars (Howard the Duck), racial tensions (The Defenders) and the breakdown of social discourse (Foolkiller). Gerber, though, was far from the only Bullpen member engaged in such exercises. Don McGregor's iconic run of Black Panther stories in Jungle Action broke new ground in its depiction of Africans in comic books. At the tail end of the run, McGregor brought Ta-Challa to America where he fought the Klu Klux Klan (a decision that even in the post-Civil Rights landscape of the 1970s sat uneasily with some Marvel editors). The run was never a best seller; indeed, it was abruptly canceled mid-storyline. However, it made a strong impression on those who read it, especially the next generation of African-American creators. Christopher Priest drew on it for background to his own acclaimed Black Panther title, making the material his own by swapping out the 70s earnestness for 90s satire. Towards the end of his run, Priest penned a related (short lived) series featuring the characters James Rhodes, Josiah X and White Tiger. On Wednesday Marvel revived that property as a tie-in to the current Black Panther on-going written by Ta-Nehisi Coates. The strong debut issue is worthy continuation of Marvel's tradition of social relevance.
Writer Ta-Nehisi Coates opens the story with a flashback to 1950s Bronx. Criminal boss Tommy Manfredi is scheming to corner the illegal trades throughout Manhattan and to this end, has hired Ezra Keith, aka the Lynx, and his team The Crusade. The Crusade are an all superpowers team when such individuals were still a rarity in the Marvel Universe and thus hoods were still of a mind that a few automatic firearms could neutralize any threat to their turf. The Crusade handily disapproves this notion. The rub is that the Crusade have been working their own angle, cleaning the streets for the safety of everyday citizens, not for another syndicate to roll into the area. The prologue contains a lot of exposition, yet, Coates handles it smoothly. The segment never feels like an info dump; indeed it has the opposite effect. The reader is immediately engaged in the narrative. Coates' prose skillfully establishes both the atmosphere and the characters moving within it. This is particularly important as Ezra Keith's legacy is a significant one.
In the present day, Ezra's activities with the Crusade are not public knowledge, though, he is very much a public figure. The core of Ezra's mission was always a dedication to protecting Harlem. He may have ceased operating as the Lynx, but he never lost his conviction for social engagement. Some would say that he became overzealous in his practice of it. Misty Knight knew Ezra from her days on the force where he had a reputation as "a cop-hater who liked to get himself arrested." As the years went by little changed. Social injustice inspired new rounds of protests and there was Ezra, ever on the front lines. Now though, Ezra has become the focus of the protests. Two days into his most recent incarceration, Ezra was found dead in his jail cell. Just to make matters worse, Ezra was the fourth person to die in custody that summer. The city is restless as both protesters and police are walking a razor's edge for maintaining order. Imposed curfews and hovering police robots are not helping the situation.
This scenario is immediately familiar as one that has played out way too often in American cities recently. Coates is stirring up a lot of volatile issues: neighborhoods' distrust of the police; officers' sense of persecution; the militarization of policing. One of the strengths of the issue is how well Coates manages to balance these various perspectives. Coates' choice of Misty as the issue's narrator is a telling one, as Misty, being a woman of color, has built a career on striding these social fault lines. She was a cop once and understands how, for good and ill, the NYPD operates. She knows how to speak with her former colleagues, appealing to a shared sense of professionalism. She can also recognize the suggestions of a cover-up while knowing better than to jump to any conclusions. Perhaps there is nothing more sinister at play than sloppy casework? So far the story lacks any obvious villain, such as some Serpent Society rabble-rouser promulgating explicit racism. Yet, the further Misty digs, the more uneasy her mind grows. Her spirited, yet calm, determination proves to be the perfect choice for anchoring the book's initial chapter.
Art for The Crew is provided by Butch Guice. His pencils emphasizes the naturalism of the story, rooting the contemporary scenes in the familiar ambiance of 21st Century New York. Even in scenes of characters talking, the reader readily senses the emotional tension of the moment. This sense of the everyday is reinforced by colorist Dan Brown's muted palette. At the same time, Guice handles the action sequences with a dynamic flair. This combination of spectacle, suspense and the recognizable serves Guice as well here as it did during his contributions to Ed Brubaker's Captain American run.
In a way, The Crew #1 is a teaser for what is still to come. By the end of the issue, only two of the advertised five team members are in play and neither of them is the title character. In addition, Coates will be trading writing duties every other issue with Yona Harvey (who has been co-writing the other Black Panther spin-off title, World of Wakanda). For the moment, though, it is enough to say that Coates and his artistic collaborators have delivered an excellent debut issue which continues Marvel's tradition of telling superhero tales that are both exciting and socially engaged.

I've begun to notice this trend. This thing we do as humans. I haven't quite figured out if it's a universal human trait, but in the so-called "western world" we sure seem to have it.
It's this strange pre-disposition to take sides. We do it in politics (right vs. left, Republican vs. Democrat, Liberal vs. Conservative), we do it in our relationships, we do it in our consumerism (Apple vs. Samsung, Xbox vs. PS4), we do it in so many different ways. We are always taking sides. Always finding reasons why someone else is wrong and we're right. Why Justin Beiber sucks or why some UK boy band is the greatest thing ever. We're quick to talk over others, quick to jump in with our two cents. To put it simply, we're pretty good at being "right".
As a culture we waste a lot of energy on being "right". It's no wonder we live in a world where we are growing increasingly less trusting of all the messages being cast our way from a myriad of sources. It's no wonder people are fed up with politics, with religion, with the constant antagonism. And yet, as sick of it all as we are, we come back to it. We take those sides. We quarrel and argue why we're right and they're wrong. Why our "side" is the good side. Why for some reason we're better than them. (It's okay, I know you've never done this, I'm just speaking for myself and a bunch of other people I've observed.)
Why do we do this? Why do we deep down hate this whole us vs. them thing, and yet find ourselves participating in it?
Why? To belong.
This is the real universal human trait at play here. This uncanny desire to belong.
I believe that's what we really want. That's what's behind the sides we take. And yes, I understand that there are ideological, moral, cultural, historical, and many more "al" reasons why we do choose to take certain sides. And that's not really what this is about. This is about how we've been trying to belong. I'd like to suggest that we can have different ideas, different political stances, different backgrounds, different opinions, and still "belong" together. That "belonging" is bigger than one of those "sides".
Bob Goff is someone who inspires me, and I've heard him say it in person, and in his book "Love Does" that everyone should pick a fight.
I think this is part of the solution to our problem. If we start picking more fights instead of taking sides we might be amazed at the stuff that happens. I think there are some pretty major "fights" in the world that most of us can agree are worth fighting. Things like poverty, human trafficking, education deficiencies, water shortages, curable diseases, homelessness, depression, and the list goes on and on. I can guarantee you there are fights waiting for you in the place you live. What would happen if we all focused less on being "right" and instead put our energy into picking fights together regardless of whether we agree on everything.
What if we chose to make love our priority. It's been written that God is love. I've always loved that. When we pick fights, when we stand up for something or someone, when we love unconditionally, I believe we start to live what we were created to be. When we do it together, it's at those moments when I think we start to realize what belonging can really look like.

Immanuel's Scandinavian Smorgasbord
Thanks for Coming and to All who Helped!
Due to renovations, we won't be hosting a Smorgasbord in 2018.
Click Mailing List link below to get more info as it gets closer!
Click here to be added to the Mailing List to receive info about that event!
Smorgasbord History
Immanuel's history could not be written without mention of our Scandinavian Smorgasbords. One of the values identified by members of Immanuel is a strong Lutheran tradition and heritage. The Immanuel Historical Scrapbook shows Smorgasbords as early as 1938 when Immanuel was a small church on Alder Street. In 1981, Smorgasbords began as an annual event to support Camp Imlu. Over the years it changed from a "sit down- be served" dinner to a Smorgasbord of Scandinavian favorites, including lutefisk, lefse and Swedish meatballs. The whole congregation gets involved, with some helping with workshops to learn the crafts of making lefse, krumkakke, rosettes and other Scandinavian treats. Others help with setup, serving and cleanup. Ten percent of the funds are tithed to the synod, proceeds go to support Outreach into the community and world as well as other ministries at Immanuel. It's a great opportunity for members to work together to reach out to the community.

(ABC 6 News) - Four teenagers are facing charges after a series of car break-ins in Austin.
According to the Austin Police Department, officers were called to the parking lot at the Austin Eagles Club on 11th Street NE around 6:30 Friday night for a report of a group of kids rummaging through cars.
Officers apprehended four boys ranging from 14 to 15 years old. Officers also recovered cash, coins, sunglasses, car keys and a knife from the group.
Three of the boys were turned over to their parents. A 14-year-old boy who was already on probation was taken to a juvenile detention center in Rochester.

We held our Anti-Bullying Week starting on the13th November.
We have been thinking about what a bully looks like (could be anybody) and the types of bullying which can happen. However, we have also thought about the opposite. We have been thinking about kindness and love. Friendship and care. We have thought about how we are all different and all equal.
We all fit togther.
The Parks Academy does not accept or tolerate bullying and we are committed to supporting our pupils to tackle this issue.

Natural language processing on the brain
The Keatext team and I are always talking about natural language processing (NLP). Sometimes we get into heated debates around the lunch table or we have endless conversations about AI and machine learning over a few drinks on Friday night. Needless to say, we live and breathe natural language processing.
NLP is a continuously evolving field, and we want to make it easy for all of our Keatext-ers to stay up to-date on natural language processing trends, gain insights and get valuable tips along the way.
Natural Language Processing Blogs: Our Top 5
Here's a list of our top 5 "go-to" natural language processing blogs:
- Breakthrough analysis: This blog is the vision of Seth Grimes, a leading industry analyst who provides in-depth coverage of topics such as NLP, text analytics, sentiment analysis. He has also written over a hundred articles and blog posts.
- Text Analysis 101: The best way to learn about natural language processing is to start with the basics. Aptly named, this blog brings together rich examples of text analysis, as well as explores practical issues related to text mining and NLP.
- KDnuggets: We are big fans of Gregory Piatetsky-Shapiro and have mentioned KDnuggets in previous posts. This is more than a blog, it's a one-stop-shop for the latest news, jobs, webcasts, and conferences in data mining, and analytics. There's also an extensive list of tools you should check out (shameless promotion: Keatext is there.)
- Colah's Blog: This blog is for the die hard NLP gurus who have a firm grasp on the subject. Chris Olah uses some pretty remarkable illustrations to represent deep neural networks and their relationship to natural language processing (NLP). Elegantly scientific.
- Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence: This blog caters to a more "mainstream" AI audience. With thought-provoking posts like Am I bot or not? you can be sure to go on a real outside-the-box mind trip (I was told to take most of his posts with a grain of salt).
- What is your favourite natural language processing blog? Let me know in the comments below, and I'll happily add it to this list. Happy Keatext-ing!The post Natural Language Processing Blogs appeared first on Keatext.

When Lee Feldman was in his mid-20s, he used to transport people back and forth from the Fort Lauderdale, Fla., beachfront. In the process, Feldman says he learned a basic truth about himself: "I loved working with people, but I wasn't really crazy about working for someone else," he says.
Lee says he and his younger brother, Lonnie, decided to start their own business, but they weren't sure what that business would be. They just knew they wanted to do something "fun, unique and exciting."
After doing some research, the Feldmans decided that popcorn fit the bill.
"We liked popcorn as much as the next guy, but what attracted us to the business was the ability to work with people, to give them something to smile about," says Feldman, 38. "That's the philosophy we still have today."
It's just that now, that philosophy affects a few more people. Lee and Lonnie own four Pops Corn locations in South Florida. Their newest venture, Yo Mama's Ice Cream, shares space with the Pops Corn Fort Lauderdale beach location.
Lee Feldman, of Plantation, Fla., says the business now has 30 employees who, as he puts it, "work hard every day to get a smile out of people. That's why we're all here."
After the first Pops Corn location opened in Weston, Fla., Lee says business increased quickly. As their customer base grew, so did the work, which was a welcome necessity for the Feldman brothers.
"If you have a good product -- and we have a great product -- you have to put your faith in it and the people who make it and sell it," Lee says. "And we were confident about what we were doing. People started coming in and buying more and the number of repeat customers grew. The word-of-mouth advertising was getting out there. People talking to each other, telling their friends and family about this great popcorn they'd had. It's a cliche, but you can't buy that kind of advertising."
As the popcorn business boomed, the Feldmans decided they wanted to do more at their Fort Lauderdale beach location, which gets a lot of foot traffic and has a steady flow of customers beyond the usual December-through-April busy season. After mulling over a few ideas and researching potential products, they decided to add ice cream to their repertoire, and Yo Mama's Ice Cream was born.
"We make everything right there; fresh ice cream every day," says Lee, who admits he had no prior experience in making ice cream. Instead, he says, "I read everything I could about ice cream and watched a lot of videos."
He and his brother began experimenting with flavors and ingredients, and by Lee's account, nailed it on their first full batch.
"It was buttered rum, pecans and white chocolate chips," he says. "It was fantastic. It's still the same recipe we use today."
Lee says he wasn't surprised that he and his brother could create such tantalizing ice cream -- the Yo Mama's Ice Cream online reviews back up his claims -- because they'd already done something similar with Pops Corn products.
"We have seven flavors, and each one was made through trial and error and a lot of research," Lee says. "Whether it's the ice cream or the popcorn, the taste of the product is the most important part of our business."
But Lee is quick to add that it's just a part.
"We have to provide excellent service," he says. "That's what makes the customer happy."
Lee Feldman says Yo Mama's serves 16 to 18 flavors each day. Currently, its most popular is Salted Butter Popcorn Ice Cream, which is made with Pops Famous Caramel Popcorn.
"If you love the popcorn, you love the ice cream, and if you love the ice cream, you'll love the popcorn," Lee says. "And ice cream is the perfect complimentary food to popcorn, so it's great to have them both in one location."
The best part of the job, according to Lee, is making people happy. That, and working with his brother.
"It's a lot of fun to do something we both love," he says. "We work really well together."
The logistics of Florida sometimes make it challenging to get products, Lee says.
"The state of Florida buys a lot of products, but there's not a lot heading out, so you're paying more for trucks that probably won't be leaving with materials to deliver somewhere else," he says.
Lee says he and his brother have considered expanding beyond South Florida, but if they do, they want to make sure to do it the right way.
"I don't want to grow just for the sake of growing," Lee says. "We put a lot of care into what we do and we're always learning new things. My priority is creating a brand that South Florida can be proud of. I wouldn't want that to ever change."
When the Feldman brothers decided to sell ice cream, they figured they'd get a companion name to Pops Corn, so Yo Mama's would seem like an obvious choice. But Lee says the name goes a bit beyond that.
"We love our mom. What else can two sons do for their mom? She loves coming here and she's been supportive all along. It's a tribute to her."

Student Union
Lucy Cavendish aims to admit one to two undergraduates in Land Economy each year, and a number of others transfer into the course for Part IB or Part II. We also currently have nine MPhil and two PhD Land Economists, making for a small but supportive subject community in college.
The BA in Land Economy focuses on the use, management and development of the built and natural environment, and offers a solid grounding in both economics and law. The course is accredited by the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors, but graduates go on to pursue a wide range of careers and Land Economy has one of the strongest records for post-BA employment in the University.
Further information about the course can be found on the Department and University websites.
Director of Studies
Dr Nicola Morrison
Course Requirements
There are no subject-specific entrance requirements for Land Economy and we have in the past accepted applicants with a range of British and international qualifications. Some prior study of Geography, Economics and/or Mathematics is helpful, but not essential.
See the general Entrance Requirements and FAQ for more information about our academic conditions. You can also contact our Admissions Office with queries.
Admissions Assessment
Applicants invited for interview will be asked to sit the Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA) in Cambridge on the day of their interviews. The TSA is ninety minutes in length. Specifications can be found in the Entry Requirements section here.
Karolina worked in a restaurant and studied Further Mathematics in her spare time before coming to Lucy Cavendish, having originally sat the Polish Matura in Krasnystaw. I love how different the Land Economy course can be depending on your paper choices in the 2nd and 3rd year. Papers are usually more practical than theoretical and usually cover real-life issues (such as how cities and regions function, environmental issues and poverty). Lecturers are leaders in their fields and it is exciting to be able to listen to them and exchange ideas during supervisions. I have made amazing friends at Lucy Cavendish and I felt like a part of a big family from day one. Many may think this is not the place for the 'play hard' element of work hard-play hard student lifestyle, but those who think we only sit and drink tea will be very wrong. I love College bops and there are many more opportunities for those who like to go out from time to time (or all the time).
Becky was a self-taught A-level student who decided to give up her role as a pastry chef in Leicestershire and take on a new challenge, after attending a Cambridge University Summer School. I really enjoy my course, there are lots of options and Land Economy is a small department which makes it easier to make friends, plus lectures are very interactive. I play an active part in college life and the Student Union and I feel there is something for everyone at Lucy Cavendish. My tutor is incredibly helpful and I know her door is always open should I have any problems. The College has helped me to apply for a bursary, a scholarship and a start up grant, and the opportunities available to students here are amazing. Last summer I was able to spend two months in China as a volunteer teaching English, with all costs paid. It was such a brilliant experience.

This glimpse into the new Hackett London Autumn/Winter collection has as it's focus one particular accessory, the scarf.
Since scarves are an easy way to add style to a winter wardrobe, I've added (where possible) outfits from the current collection that include these scarves as well as the items pictured by themselves.
As a helpful bonus, I've also added (below the images) a video from the GQ rules series featuring designer Domenico Vacca showing three different ways to tie a scarf. The last of which being the way the tartan Hackett scarf is tied in the model shot. Enjoy!

Weight loss is tricky. Even so, follow my journey as I plan to lose weight this year, 20-lbs to be exact. That will be my goal. Currently, the weighing scale measures 170 lbs. In the end of this year, it will be 148-150 lbs. If my calculations are correct, that's 10% body fat. (Compare that to Lance Armstrong of only 5%).
I'm not an elite athlete, I'm a regular mortal like you. My weight has always been my concern.
To achieve my goals, I'm using my tools and gizmos; motivation, technology, science, calorie counting and dealing with frustrations. I'll be losing weight in my busiest year ever, because of a baby coming in June and an oral examination, a requirement to become a Ph.D. candidate. Top that with frustrating (but exciting) research.
At this stage of the battle, my knees are not yet ready for the pounding of running so I'll be using the fitness first elliptical machine at my apartment complex's fitness room (pix on above left). It is a small room but it serves the purpose of burning calories. Don't get me wrong, I like big gyms, but the fitness room in my complex is a little bit convenient.
It's just the start. I lost weight before, I will be doing it again. Next year, I'll be running the Disney Marathon then.

The power of gardens to transform urban environments and lift human spirits is explored in a new book. Charleston Mayor Joe Riley inspired the book, which discusses ways to establish breathtaking urban oases and beautiful hidden spaces.
The idea for "Parks, Plants, and people: Beautifying the Urban Landscape" by Lynden Miller, internationally known public garden designer, occurred while she was speaking with the mayor after a presentation to the Charleston Horticultural Society several years ago, she says. Riley asked her for a book with her recommendations and experiences so that he could share them with others.
"I realized then that I needed to direct some of my efforts toward getting my thoughts on paper in order to share what I learned over the years about reinvigorating parks and gardens," Miller says in her book, published by W.W. Norton & Co.
In comments on the book's jacket, Riley's predicts that it will challenge and inspire people. He also says her work in New York can be transferred to other places and that those who accept her suggestions "will make America more beautiful."
Miller covers her experiences in restoring or creating oases in all boroughs of New York City. They include transforming the overgrown Conservatory Garden in Central Park and the 97th Street "Pocket Park" that once was inhabited by pigeons and rats.
She stresses the need to have such parks with beautiful gardens, and the humanizing effect they can provide, in all kinds of neighborhoods.
When creating or restoring public gardens, plan them with an eye toward how they will be used, to keep them safe and to make them inviting and have a plan to ensure that they will be well-maintained, Miller says.
She also discusses gardens from a perspective she developed as a painter, likening planning of one to painting with plants. The composition of plants in gardens, both in formal garden and open areas, should make it look as if it has not been planned at all.
"Creating that perfect composition or finding the perfect place for a plant to thrive is an ongoing and exciting process. Resist the pressure to design 'down' for the public. Plantings in public spaces should be as varied and sophisticated as those in private gardens."
In a section on private funding for public parks, she discuses several examples that include the Charleston Parks Conservancy, founded in 2007 by philanthropist Darla Moore. The conservancy has programs and partnerships to enhance and improve Charleston's parks.
During an interview, Riley says beautifying public spaces is a movement, one that the Charleston Parks Conservancy, Charleston Horticultural Society and city Parks Department are involved in. Their projects increase opportunities for residents to be engaged in improving public spaces, he says.
"Working with plants and flowers and trees and shrubs is a very natural, happy human endeavor," Riley says. "The population is changing, and the number of people who have volunteer time on their hands is increasing. Link that and the natural joy of gardening and it just creates a tremendous opportunity."
Riley praised the job that the city's Parks Department employees and volunteers are doing to create and maintain a large number of public spaces.
He encourages neighborhoods to identify and adopt areas to transform and maintain in every community.

Filmed entirely on an iPhone 5s, Tangerine is so much more than a novelty. It's an experiment in filmmaking with truly astonishing results. Taking place within the oddly sunny Christmas Eve streets of California, the film tracks Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez), a trans female sex worker just released from a twenty eight day prison sentence. She meets her friend Alexandra (played by Mya Taylor, also transgender) at a donut shop and she's informed that her boyfriend Chester (James Ransone) has been cheating on her with a cisgender woman, Dinah (Mickey O'Hagan). Sin-Dee is a kinetic tour-de-force of rage and rebellion as she storms out of Donut Time to hunt the "fish" that's been sleeping with her man. Meanwhile, we're shown a married Armenian taxi driver (Karren Karagulian) with a liking for trans sex workers, whose story eventually becomes entwined with Sin-Dee's, amounting to an enchanting, brash farce, hilarious and striking.
You quickly forget it's filmed on an iPhone, just because it looks so good. Perhaps the restrictions in equipment force the filmmakers to try even harder to find interesting angles and creative uses of light to make such a visually rich film. Director Sean S. Baker really does prove how we are all potential filmmakers, using his limits to his advantage. For example, there's a shot of Sin-Dee sitting at a bus stop with the phone camera neatly positioned behind her head and we get the point of view of (presumably) real people getting off the bus and looking at the camera curiously and it looks like they are staring at her which must reflect the feeling of being trans.
Tangerine juxtaposes the artificial Christmas spirit amidst California's pink, winter warmth with the raw emotions of its characters. Its two leads, Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor ,had no major acting experience prior to this film, having met Baker at a California LGBT centre in 2013. They have a natural screen energy, furious and eccentric. Between them they have such a clear, strong chemistry, a shared energy and experience which makes their friendship feel true. The whole film is played at a high octane, with shots often speeded up to add to the sense of neon artificiality, the whole film glowing with sunset radiance.

When a little spoon dripped in blue paint came in the mail the other day, there were several thoughts that came to mind. Was this a chocolate (albeit blue) covered spoon and was there a chocolate-filled jar that came with it? If it wasn't chocolate, was there still a chocolate-filled jar that came with it?
Chocolate fiend that I am, I get excited about chocolate all too easily even when there seems to be no chocolate involved. But the blue spoon put a smile on my face nonetheless because the blue artifact was the key to an intimate dinner at The Bluespoon Restaurant in Amsterdam hosted by none other than the head chef. Bluespoon is now headed by chef Kasper Stiekema, a thirty-year-old chef who has previously trained at renowned restaurants like Ciel Blue, La Rive and Jamie Oliver's Fifteen. The young chef's humble manner and charismatic introduction of himself made us all the more excited about the new menu. Kasper explains how he likes cooking with fresh seasonal produce. The menu is a reflection of his own culinary style, robust yet classic, but always with a Dutch twist. From the chef's table, we could witness our whole meal being prepped from start to finish.
From a light ceviche to a beautiful duck and plum dish (such a perfect dish for fall) and lastly a lovely chocolate mousse dessert (there's the chocolate!), it was a pure fall feast. Needless to say, we enjoyed a marvelous dinner that left us wanting for more.

Brigadier General Dionigi Maria Loria of European Union Military Staff discusses the Military Airlift market
SMi's 16th annual Military Airlift and Rapid Reaction Operations conference takes place on the 1st and 2nd December 2015 in Seville, SpainLONDON, UK, November 9, 2015 /EINPresswire.com/ -- SMi recently caught up with the Military Airlift 2015 day two keynote speaker, Brigadier General Dionigi Maria Loria, Director, Logistics Directorate of European Union Military Staff and asked him a few questions about the current challenges and opportunities for the military airlift market.
When asked what are the main challenges currently facing the European Airlift community and how can these be overcome, Brigadier General Dionigi Maria Loria commented:
"I see several kinds of challenges ranging from the grand strategic to the tactical:
At the higher level, we will need to be cognizant of the changing nature of technology, environmental issues and indeed, states themselves and the evolving geopolitical landscape that we will have to operate multimodal solutions within.
Then there are more immediate concerns regarding the management of end of life aircraft and the introduction of new aircraft into service. How EU member states will bridge the strategic airlift gap due to the retirement of the bulk of their old tactical fleets, and the arrival of replacement aircraft. A part of the airlift gap has been filled thanks to access to the SALIS contract, but also with the support of US and other partners..."

Brigadier General Dionigi Maria Loria, Director, Logistics Directorate of European Union Military Staff will be presenting on: EUMS Perspective for the International Strategic Lift Collaboration in EU CSDP Missions and Operations and Disaster Relief.
